I play the beginner bots (Martin,elani,aron) and do good against them.  Then I play a 10 minute blitz game against someone with same rating as me (300-350) and do not so good.   I noticed alot of players under 300  bring their queen out trying for the scholars mate.  I can handle that fine.   once they see that they usually abandon the game.

Thou only have a single Blitz game on record. Try playing more games. Typically thou will have a worse rating in Blitz and Bullet, than Rapid. Also, playing bots and playing real players is very different.

Faraday, sorry I meant to say I played the 10 Minute rapid games.  I tried a 5 minute blitz and bailed out.

One of your losses you were doing good until you blundered your queen. You missed seeing the discover attack on your queen.

It is good to have a few simple openings thou know how to play and know how to counter any counter-play to those openings. The middle game is all about how well thou can coordinate all of thy peaces together, thou will get better with practice. Probably the most important part and the hardest part is endgames where thou have little to no advantage. There thou have to study a lot. For example, have thou ever tried mating thy opponent with a bishop and a knight?

We are happy to analyze thy games using the chess analysis tool, just dm us the link to the ones thou want analyzed.

Basic endgames for beginners is enough. Better players might not even know how to mate with a bishop and knight. I learned it once, but it so rarely comes up that I’ve forgotten. It’s not worth the time when there are other things to learn.

We agree, even basic rook and pawn endgames are hard enough when thou are playing against a flawless opponent.
